3:3	For we are the circumcised, we who serve God in the Spirit and who glory in Christ Jesus, having no confidence in the flesh.
3:4	Nangona kunjalo, I might have confidence also in the flesh, for if anyone else seems to have confidence in the flesh, more so do I.
3:5	For I was circumcised on the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, kwisizwe sakwaBhenjamin, a Hebrew among Hebrews. According to the law, I was a Pharisee;
3:6	according to zeal, I persecuted the Church of God; according to the justice that is in the law, I lived without blame.
3:7	But the things which had been to my gain, the same have I considered a loss, ngenxa kaKristu.
3:8	Kodwa ngokwenene, I consider everything to be a loss, because of the preeminent knowledge of Jesus Christ, my Lord, for whose sake I have suffered the loss of everything, considering it all to be like dung, so that I may gain Christ,
